Choose Your Island
A Caribbean holiday is about more than finding a beautiful beach, although there are plenty of those. Each island has its own character, from the lively streets and music of Jamaica to the quiet coves of Antigua and the colourful culture of Barbados. Choosing the right destination means you can shape your trip around the experience you want.
For a classic beach escape, look for resorts with calm waters, easy access to the sand and plenty of choice when it comes to restaurants and activities. If you prefer exploring, consider an island with historic towns, forested hills or lively local markets. You could spend the morning swimming in warm sea water, stop for a relaxed lunch of fresh fish and finish the day watching the sunset with a cool drink.
The best time to visit depends on your plans, but the Caribbean is warm throughout the year. The drier winter months are especially popular with travellers seeking sunshine, while the quieter summer season can offer excellent value and a more laid-back feel. A friendly travel expert can help you compare islands, resorts and departure dates to find a holiday that suits you.
